This week's challenge is to create something in the style of your favorite artist. I must admit that I have been out of operation due to the flu for several days so I am going to share some of my favorite artist's pieces without a lot of text.

Henri Matisse was a French artist. He was born December 31, 1869 and died November 3, 1954. For information on this artist click here.

I've shared some of Matisse's paintings that I've never seen before. As you can see, he was a master of color. My favorite work of his was done later in his life. I purposely didn't share any of those pieces because I will be sharing it in my own blog post. (Hint: It's his cutouts)

So have a wonderful and creative week discovering Henri Matisse. Perhaps you'll use a little more color than usual, or make something more abstract than you normally do. Whatever the inspiration, please be sure to come back and share it. The information is on the sidebar.
